“What Is A Fact About The Human Body That Not Many People Know About?” (50 Answers)

So my being a weak, soft bag of jelly is for my own good? 😁

Drugs can have the same effect. That's why some "weak looking" person can need about 4 policemen or alikes to be held and handcuffed.

That or you're exposed to enough gamma radiation to kill a football team but luckily your super power is being Mark Ruffalo and you come out alright.

self esteem boost right here.

This is simlpy not true. While it is true that your body limits the strength of your muscles, this is neither done by the brain, nor are the muscles in your extremeties strong enough - or even in the right angle - to break your own bones. There are many conditions where muscles lock up with full contraction and that can break your bones, but this "only" affects ribs and vertebrae.

That's cool and scary at the same time

OR nurse here. Thinking specifically about the small intestines. The surgeon can put them back in, but they'll never fit as perfectly as they did before they came out. A lot of tissue that was holding them in that sort of 'perfect' position had to be dissected in order for them to be loose enough to sit outside the body. Think of it like removing slimy cobwebs. You can't reattach the cobwebs.

My bro-in-law who works at a hospital said a higher proportion of surgeons have psychopathic traits as compared to the regular population. Guess some of those traits help in the field of surgery.

But don’t let them place the balls back where the heart is or somethin like that

Especially when you have a c-section and see your organs in a plastic tub next to them - this hits different, lol.

I think they can also hold their breathes for longer than most as well

This is called epigenetics, a mechanism to adapt without actually changing the DNA.This both positively and negatively can mean for example that your parents behaviour will change your capabilities.

Evolution in the making

In the water!! That’s ducking cool

Charles Darwin is definitely smiling at this.

I hate listening to recorded phone messages of my voice. It actually sounds more lower pitch than I realize.

How do voice impersonators do it so well? Some guys can do like 30 different voices and sound perfect

I've met plenty of people that LOVE the sound of their own voice!

You are also prettier then you see and more intelligent then your brain let you believe.

I sound like fluffing Mickey Mouse in recordings😩

im half awake and i fully anticipated the source to say "im a cannibal" 🤐

Can I counter with fried Portobello mushrooms smell like steak?

Okay- now I don’t wanna be a surgeon bc I hate mushrooms XD

To me mushrooms smell like soil,so...

Brought back a memory: when studying massage we were taken to the uni wet-labs to see and handle some dissections to get a better understanding of the actual 3D layout of the muscles and bones, glands, nerves, etc. I noticed an open doorway beyond which was a room where two people were sitting at a table working on something, and a smaller adjoining room between. We were welcomed in, and passing through the smaller room I notice a bunch of large plastic tubs stacked up. On the way out I noticed them all labeled "Heads", "R. Arms", "Torsos", and so forth. And the pair were each working on dissections. I spoke with one, a woman who had half a head and was using a scalpel to slice away the flesh around the cheek and jaw to expose the trigeminal and facial nerves. I was curious and asked simple questions - what's the job like, how'd you get into this, that sort of thing. And it just makes me laugh every time I remember her telling me that the only real drawback was when on dates responding to the question "So, what do you do?".

This one is fascinating. I would never have guessed.

but we feel it necessary to spend a good part of our life plucking, shaving and waxing it. 🤦
